port 80 blocked

[dpellegrini]

Ok, running antivirus(yes updated) and Black Ice IDS. But somehow someone was able to breach my system and shut port 80 off. I can access the internet, but some sites,

http://www.trend.com,

http://www.norton.com,

http://www.mcafee.com,

are all being redirected to 127.0.0.1. I ran a portscanner on my pc and noticed that port 80 was not listed, as it usually is. no other odd ports open. I'm running Windows 2000 Pro SP2. This is affecting both netscape and IE. Any recommendations? I'm guess that the registry was modified, but I haven't been able to find where.
Thanks for the assistance.

Does your fire wall not allow you to turn it back on? There is a place in the registy, but unfortunatly I do not have my notes with me to see where. anyone elsr know where? James Collins
